Very nice video quality. The wine is a lovely deep Burgundy color. Please share your recipe for egg salad with us, lol. I believed you when you said you already ate a sandwich, but for posterity you had to get it recorded. You're cute!

Oh, I am not lying. There was a sandwich before that. I chopped up red onion, celery, and red pepper, and mixed that up with the mayonnaise first. Salt and pepper. I then added two chopped hard boiled eggs and mixed it up. I put iceberg lettuce on the sandwich. It wasn't bad, but it was more bread-y and veggie-y than egg-y or mayonnaise-y.

I didn't spit it out, but chewing looks awful on camera. I'm surprised people are willing to eat in front of each other now that I've seen it. I went overtime, and had to cut some stuff out. It made perfect sense to cut the bulgy cheeks, etc.

Anyway, you know one of the 10 Things I've Never Done was-- is! -- throwing up as a diet method.

My mother loves egg salad. Half the time it gives her food poisoning, but does that stop her? No. Which tells me that despite this clip, and the finality of your disdain for egg salad, you will encounter people who will try to force you to eat it til the day you die.

Here's how they get you: "You don't like egg salad? You haven't tried MYYY egg salad!"

With regard to the final observation about what else the money could have been used for - look at it this way. You're a lot more liberal than many of your regular commenters. You're very likely to disagree with some of the causes we'd give money to. So look at it this way: likely as not, money that was safely sponged up by the great egg salad challenge is money that's no longer available to be given to a cause that you wouldn't agree with. So in a way, you're providing a public service.

First, we're all going back in posts to see what Althouse pay project can be contributed to next. :)

Secondly, do you really keep a steady back-up supply of mayonnaise in your closet?

And lastly, just have to suggest that perhaps the frozen footage and the ironic necessity to down a second sandwich was karma for the comment about fat Texas girls. ;) Just kidding -- your gluttonous display was for the sake of honesty. Well done!

That didn't look like very good egg salad that you held up to the camera. It looked like a goopey mess. You didn't give egg salad a fair hearing. Green onions, mustard and a liberal amount of pepper. And don't mash it into a pulp.

I think you actually liked it. If you didn't like it, I believe you would have spent considerable time trying to get the first video working, and you would have chronicled your attempts to do so. That being the case, that was some seriously good acting.

If Althouse had any prowess in the Kitchen whatsoever, she would know that you can make your own mayonaisse, very easily, in the Food Processor. Homemade mayonaisse doesn't contain any gels, or gooey gunk. Mayonaisse is actually a festive French delicacy.....the consistency of a sauce.

I like it on a turkey sandwich. I sometimes make tuna salad. But face it, those jars are so old I have to throw them out, unopened. That doesn't really suggest I'm eating a lot of mayonnaise. Plus, sometimes other people shop and they assume it's a staple and think it should be stockpiled.

Get canola oil mayo next time. It's good for you (high in monosaturated fat, which is the good fat). I make a special trip to Whole Foods to get it. I'm sure they'll have it in NYC, sophisticated place that it is. In fact, it's probably the only mayo you're allowed to sell there now.

I thought the original reference was to cold eggs. I assume that meant that you've never had a deviled egg? Maybe we could raise another $200 to get you to eat a deviled egg! They go great with red wine.
